COLOURED LABOUR IN QUEENSLAND.
Press Association.—'Electric Telegraph—Copyright. London, May 17. Baron De Worms, in reply to a question in the House of Commons, said it would be sufficient if the regulations intended to be enforced by Queensland were forwarded by post to the Imperial Government. He intended to call Sir H. Norman's attention to the alleged outrages on imported women. During the course of his remarks, he quoted from Bishop Selwyn's letter. London, May 18. Mr. S. Smith, M.P., has given notice that in consequence of Baron De Worms' evasive reply to his last question on the black labour in Queensland, he will raise a discussion on the whole question at the first opportunity. The Daily Chronicle, referring to black labour in Queensland, holds that indentured labour is not technically slavery, and that England cannot interfere in the matter. It cannot believe that if the proposed safeguards are strictly enforced the traffic is likely to bring the common English name into shame.
